it's obviouly lead Actually, it isn't lead. Scientists said it was lead, and it circled around the world. Scientists then found out it was graphite, but it was too late. In pencils, there is a slim hollow 'tube'. In that tube, there is some graphite, (Yes, graphite, not lead. People mistook it for lead.) that is stuck into the tube and makes a pencil. When you sharpen it, the pencil sharpener is a certain shape that burns the graphite and covering in a certain way that sharpens the pencil.
